Chapter Sixty-Eight: Why Do We Need to Walk Through Despair?
Captain Wu Jianqiang barely bred up and began to check his gains. Because of the seizure of the city of Geranza as a comparison, this reception is not a big deal.
There are 47 sets of red brick and red tile houses, no water supply, no electricity and no broadband, but the furniture is complete and can be moved in. There are also two homes with their own gardens. The garden was very beautiful, but Captain Wu Jianqiang came out after a turn, and there was no petty bourgeoisie at all to linger in the company.
It's still January, but Tainan's unique climate makes it warm as spring. In the garden, all kinds of red and pink, large and small flowers are blooming...... But in vain, Captain Wu Jianqiang's gaze didn't stop for them for even a second. He recognized only one thing of the garden's plants, a remnant: the bare stalks of sunflowers.
There are only two kinds of ship repair equipment he knows: large and small wheel saws and pulley booms. The rest will wait until the Dutch workers are recaptured. You said we don't kill people casually, so what are you trying to do? Now he's having a headache again for civilians running around. There are too many devices that he can't name, so how can he report them.
Captain Wu Jianqiang has also learned some relevant information. At this time, there were hundreds of shipyards in the Amsterdam area of the Netherlands, and a thousand-ton merchant ship was built almost in a day.
So what? Captain Wu Jianqiang swept the open boat yard of about 10,000 square meters, and was not interested. It wasn't until a security team member reported that a large amount of wood had been found in the warehouse that Captain Wu Jianqiang raised his spirits. Check it out.
Merchant ships of this era were generally two feet thick, as evidenced by the captured merchant ships of the city of Geranza, the average warship was three feet, and the broken wreckage of warships still floating at sea also testifies to this. I've heard they'll be fished up soon, and the steam engines in the city still need them.
"It's all fucking hardwood." Captain Wu Jianqiang patted the wood and said to Kong Mingming, who was holding a small notebook next to him to write down the numbers, "Can you recognize what kind of wood they are?" β
Kong Mingliang said modestly: "You have exalted me, I am a seller of eggs and fruits and upside down tickets, can I recognize it?" β
The two walked slowly in the warehouse, much like Kim Jong-un leading Fan Ryong Hae to check the armaments.
Out of the warehouse, it was a little hot.
The three teams went out, and according to the prior request, they were to search a three-kilometer area, and the rest will be discussed tomorrow. It's time for powered paragliding in a moment, right? The two of them looked up at the sky, and there were only a few white clouds floating in the sky. What a peaceful afternoon it was?!
In the distance, Ma Aiguo and another captain were muttering in front of a certain ship repair equipment, not knowing what to say.
Captain Wu Jianqiang found the biggest, best and most beautiful house, and walked in, lazy, not wanting to go any further. Kong Mingliang followed behind very dogleggedly, and brought him a chair very doggedly. When Kong Mingliang took it, he thought to himself, good guy, this chair is really heavy.
This is a rich family. You can see it just by looking at the various furnishings. There were velvet curtains on the windows, and if Sun Defa was here, he would have told him that they were imported from Japan. On the head is a large chandelier, shining silver, at first glance it is all silver, which may be more expensive than the one in the PetroChina Club.
Kong Mingliang drank mineral water while looking up at the remaining candles on the chandelier, dog, how did they light the fire and extinguish the fire at such a high level?
Captain Wu Jianqiang glanced at the decorative paintings on the surrounding walls, and didn't see any difference from the 100 yuan oil paintings in the shijie. Don't forget that on that side, Shijie is in charge of logistics.
There are all kinds of indications that the family is Jihua and has been prepared to escape. The food in the kitchen can be seen to be much less, the wardrobe in the upstairs bedroom is always open, I don't know what is missing, the bedroom is full of the smell of camphor.
In the family's study, Kong Mingliang found another strange thing, a piece of iron tied to an iron chain, and a small box with something like hay in it. He wanted to take it back and study it well, but when he thought about the discipline requirements, he sighed and let go. You can't handle all the spoils of war privately, I'm afraid this is a bottom-line discipline.
He was soon drawn to a model ship on the shelf. Good guys, it's realistic!
It is impossible for Kong Mingliang to know that during this period, European shipbuilding had to have a ship model first, so that the shipbuilders had an intuitive impression. The ratio is generally a quarter of an inch to a foot. He figured it would sell well in an art store.
The first and third teams sent back a message that there were no people within three kilometers, but the second team asked for help, and they found a Ming settlement.
Here comes the situation!
Captain Wu Jianqiang came to the spirit, several orders were issued, and everyone except for the people left behind marched in the direction indicated by the second group!
It just so happens that the base militia led by Gao De has also arrived here, let them go to the task of counting!
Kong Mingliang was also happy, he stuffed the small notebook into Gao De's arms, and without waiting for Gao De to chat with him, he turned around and went to chase the team. Gao De didn't say a lot of words, and he felt uncomfortable. It's still Zhou Fuhao, he never interrupts himself, and he doesn't ask questions like Xiao Ding, and he doesn't answer easily. He had questions and answers, and the conversation was very smooth. It's just a little daunting, how do you get rid of that? Gao De thought as he flipped through the small notebook.
Liu Haiyang flew lazily in the sky, holding the DV in one hand, and shot to the ground boredly. He was responsible for the Inland Sea of An Giang to the northwest from the city of Geranza, with a focus on the shipyard depicted in the painting.
He had also seen the painting, and it was disproportionately doubtful that it was genuine. It wasn't until he received the report that he was able to determine his bearings.
The other two pilots in the team had better lives, and when they drew lots together, only Liu Haiyang did not draw a good direction, such as going to the Chichi area to observe.
Anyone who has ever flown a powered paraglider knows that flying in a crowded place doesn't feel the same as flying in a place where no one is around, especially on the heads of the ancients. That feels so cool, it will be regarded as a god by the ancients, who doesn't like it?
So the lottery was drawn, so Liu Haiyang could only go to the northwest to find a ship repair yard, and those two guys went to the Chichi area.
The weather today is really good, the wind is only level 2, and the sun is shining.
Suddenly, his walkie-talkie rang.
"Flyer One, Flyer One, please answer if you receive it, please answer if you receive it. OVERγ β
Liu Haiyang is most annoyed by pretending like this, what English does he say. He put down the DV hanging on his chest, pressed the launch twist and said, "Flyer receive, flyer receive, please speak, please, over." β
"I have seen you, please fly in the direction of ten o'clock directly in front of you, about two thousand meters away. OVERγ β
"OK, can you not speak English?! Complete. β
"Pay attention next time. OVERγ β
Liu Haiyang gently swung the joystick, lowered the altitude, and flew towards the direction provided by the other party.
After arriving at the general direction, Liu Haiyang looked carefully, there was about a bamboo shed on the ground, and the security personnel of the four squads were holding AK47s with bayonets on them, approaching the bamboo shed from four different directions.
Liu Haiyang immediately began to patrol the sky above the team's perimeter to prevent an unknown Shili raid. Although there are tall weeds on the ground, which is conducive to hiding, it is not conducive to marching, and the weeds move and are very obvious from above.
Liu Haiyang kept circling outside, but a considerable part of his energy was still focused on the bamboo shed.
He could see with his own eyes that some of the team members kicked open the door of the bamboo shed and then carefully peered inside. Liu Haiyang immediately turned the public channel. Voices began to come out of it.
"Fuck, it stinks!"
"Xiao Hao, you go to the back and block them to prevent them from slipping through the back door!"
"If there is resistance, shoot immediately! Captain Xuesun! β
"There's someone here! Something's wrong, they're so honest! β
"Yes, they all sit on the bamboo mat honestly here!"
"No old people, no women, no children!"
"Is it a trap? Is there a situation report on Flyer 1?! β
Liu Haiyang, who was listening with relish, immediately cheered up and looked around with blazing eyes. There really isn't any sign of it.
The team members cautiously looked at the Akito who was honestly sitting on the bamboo mat. Their clothes were dirty, and some of them were in tatters, and they didn't know what they were tied up with. The beard on his face is all in locks, his face is filthy, and his hair is already mixed up, and he can't see where the hairpin is. All this makes the team members who have made up for the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty wonder.
"Could it be the Ming concentration camp?!"
"Damn the Dutch!"
One of the team members shouted, and everyone immediately agreed on the same thing. Some of the team members looked around, and it was all empty, with no weeds and no railings. None of this makes sense.
There are people in the team who can speak Hokkien, and there are also those who are guarded by other team members, and they are constantly broadcasting electric horns in this bamboo shed area. The team members swung their bayonets and slowly drove the Ming people into the clearing.
Mingren is very well-behaved, they are all obedient to the eyes, and honestly follow the arrangement.
The team members sat them down on the ground and began to ask.
Captain Wu Jianqiang looked at these suffering Mingren angrily, and his heart was full of anger.
For the first time, he felt that Captain E was too facely? Is it time to readjust the arrangement? The Dutch have bullied the people to such an extent, what is there to talk about? After caught, all fucking shot!
Kong Mingliang grabbed the back of his head and whispered: "Something is wrong, captain, you said that if they are locked up in a concentration camp, there must be some kind of wall or something, at least, when they are imprisoned, the door should be stronger, you see nothing." Besides, they always managed to run away before we came, right? Although you are thin, you still have the strength to run, right? β
"Whatever, don't think about it so much, I'll ask in a while." Captain Wu Jianqiang waved his hand absently and walked towards the soldier who was asking.
The other Ming people were all sitting, only the one who replied was kneeling, and the team member asked him to stand up several times, but he didn't dare, until the team member grabbed him up and scratched people's clothes.
The team member said, "It's okay, I'll pay you one later." β
Began to ask about this shirtless Akito. After a while, they all asked.
It is inhabited by single men, some of whom have no family members, and some of whom have died on the road. They sneaked over from the Ming Continent, and they had no money to pay the poll tax, nor could they afford to rent the fields. So the Dutch arranged such people here, and they usually did odd jobs for the shipyard, and when the farm was busy, they worked in various fields, and they were also used to build bridges and roads. The Dutch would give them some food every day.
Despair, all fucking despair!
What does it look like for a person to have completely lost faith in the future? What would it be like if almost all of your loved ones were gone? What is it like to be humiliated?
The Akito in front of him is the interpretation of everything.
Are they weishenme going to run? Where else to run? The Qing soldiers killed them, the robbers robbed them, and the Dutch enslaved them when they met them, so where else could they go in the world? Besides, if all the relatives are gone, what is the meaning of living?
They don't dare to commit suicide, it takes too much courage, so that's it.
Captain Wu Jianqiang said helplessly: "Report to the headquarters, just say that we have found people who are naturally suitable to be slaves, a total of forty-one people, by the way, let them send the necessary daily necessities, tonight, we may live in the shipyard." Feed them first and then force them to jump into the river to bathe. β
The team members gave them the compressed biscuits they had brought with them and watched them gobble up their meals.
